43M Zrinyi II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Following the success of assault guns on the World War II Eastern Front, the Hungarians developed their own model, based on the chassis of the Turan tank. The initial design, the Zrinyi I, incorporated a long 75 mm gun, but it did not pass the prototype stage. The Zrinyi II had heavier armament, and a total of 60 units were produced between August 1943 and July 1944.
